please reset z-axis zero position and leveling the Build platform. You will use an A4 paper and the
Hexagon Wrench in the accessory box sent with your printer.
After leveling, please put the A4 paper under Build Platform and reset again. It finishes if you may

DUSAGE AND MAINTENANCE
DUSAGE AND MAINTENANCE
In order to have a smoothly working IBEE printer, it is important to maintain it correctly. In this
chapter the most important tips are described. It is recommended to read them carefully in order
to achieve the best results with your printer.
PRINTER PLACEMENT AND LEVELING
1. Put the printer on a stable desktop to keep the printer steady during printing to effectively
guarantee the model quality.
2. The level of the printer is maintained by four leveling screws underneath. Adjust the four screws
to restore the levelness of the printer if necessary.
BUILD PLATFORM
The Build Platform is the platform where the first layer of the model burns-in to, its levelness and
roughness are crucial to successful prints.
INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF BUILD PLATFORM
1. Turn the platform locking screw clockwise to lock (Turn the platform locking screw counter-
clockwise to unlock).
14
DUSAGE AND MAINTENANCE
2. Install or remove the platform.
SANDING BUILD PLATFORM
After the platform has been used for a long time, its surface will become smooth which leads to
poor model adhesion and increases the printing failure rate. To deal with this problem, users need
to sand the platform.
1. Clean the platform surface with alcohol.
2. Grind the surface into a grid shape with the sand sandpaper delivered with the machine.
15
DUSAGE AND MAINTENANCE
3. Clean the platform with alcohol again to make sure there is no residue left.
RESET Z-axis ZERO POSITION AND LEVELING BUILD PLATFORM
1. Prepare one A4 paper and the Hexagon Wrench in the accessory box sent with printer.
2. Make sure the bottom of Platform is clean and dry.
3. Turn the four lock blocks and take Resin Tank off.
16
DUSAGE AND MAINTENANCE
4. Loosen the four screws with Hexagon Wrench by turning counter-clockwise.
5. Click TOOLS/ZERO&LEVELING, then read the introduction and click CONFIRM twice to start.
6. After Build Platform moves to the lowest position and stops, press the plate and tighten the four
screws with Hexagon Wrench by turning clockwise-as the picture shows.
17
DUSAGE AND MAINTENANCE
7. Click CONFIRM to finish.
